Get out the lederhosen and pour a stein or five. Oktoberfest is here!
Raise your beer filled steins if you know what Oktoberfest actually is! Officially, it is a two-week period that originated in Germany from the celebration of the marriage of the crown prince of Bavaria (King Louis I) to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. Boring! Unofficially, it’s a reason to top off the mugs with the heaviest of German beers and toast to “wies’n” (what German locals call Oktoberfest).
